Welcome Back to the NBCD website and thanks to our readers for your feedback. It is our purpose to educate, inspire and motivate you to seek an improved quality of life. Although our focus addresses African American health which is unfortunately still an issue of disparity in the United States and across the world, we invite all to participate. We are also culturally apart of a colorful Diaspora that spans the Globe.
It is important to honor your own unique path. It is mentally, physically, and spiritually healthy for your overall health. Our family has always been proud of who we are and where we are going even in tough times. We honor ourselves and others even in midst of folks hurling insults, accusations and lack of understanding of various views and cultural identities. You are who you are. Your life inspires others.
You have a right to exist and within that existence yu have toiled the soil to always start anew. I honor the families who find strength and joy in each other while battling negative forces that are not family friendly and dare I say that it is a problem within parts of the Black community where we choose not to uplift each other as we should.
Family and relationships are important to our health and we should choose to nurture those ties. We should choose to honor each other. I always teach my children that if someone is having a negative conversation about you and making inaccurate assumptions about you without your input then the outcome is not in your interest nor are they operating in good faith. In our everyday lives, we all have human errors and frailties but at the end of the day take the time to honor your loved ones and you don't need anyone's permission to honor yourself. It is healing to your health.
Stay tune as I compile all my journals and check out my blog: http://innervoice-rise.blogspot.com/
Stay Mentally, Physically and Spiritually Healthy. Keep the Faith!

Mrs. B's 2009 New Year Thoughts - I WONDER!
The New Year is in full swing and everyone is seeking to re-energize and hopefully ready to take charge of your health. We concentrate on the physical and sometimes neglect our mental well being. Understanding the importance of being spiritually and physically connected to your body's nuances goes a long way towards your weekly exercise and weight loss goals. The daily ups and downs of life can impeded progress toward a healthier you. From time to time, I wonder what road blocks keep me from being the best that I can be. Some road blocks are internal while others are external. Lately, I find that the start of my internal investigation starts with two words -- I WONDER!
I was on the treadmill this morning reflecting and projecting my physical and mental goals and what obstacles to overcome, not only in the short term but the long term. So here is to giving the proper reflective space to human curiosity.
Most of all, I WONDER why we are losing our wonderment? So let's keep wondering what would happen if you envision a better you and hopefully find some answers to your physical, spiritual and mental road blocks on your journey to health.
Stay mentally, physically and spiritually healthy. Keep the Faith!!

4th Week of NBCD 2009 Weight Loss Challenge
Greetings Everyone,
Talk about a very active week -- we had a number of events with the family and kids. February is African American History month (Black History Month) and of course, I am being asked to participate in a number of events. With all the major events going on, I remind myself to watch what I eat even more.
I had to modify my exercise schedule a bit, but I still got my 3 workouts in the week. Two workouts consisted of the Billy Blanks videos (strength training and aerobic training) along with my Football Fitness workout!! I still managed to maintain the exercise regimen REGARDLESS of all the events!! It really makes me feel good by the end of the week because I still put myself FIRST before my professional obligations!!!
By the way, I lost a couple of more pounds!! I am now 151.8lbs!! That's right, my weight may fluctuate during this period, but it is reducing slowly but steadily!!
KEEPIN' IT REAL AND KEEP ON BELIEVING!!
